The Spanish Royal Cup, the Copa del Rey, was purged. Instead of the first and second leg, there has only been one game since this season in which a decision will be made about whether to advance or drop out.

Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal Betting Odds and Predictions

This increases the chances of a sensation for the underdogs. In the round of sixteen, a total of six subclass teams are still represented. Last year’s La Liga relegation Rayo Vallecano welcomes Villarreal on Tuesday evening in Campo de Futbol at home.

For the team of Paco Jemez, the duel with the yellow submarine is the fourth appearance in this year’s Copa del Rey. Just a few days ago, a 6: 4 victory on penalties against Betis Sevilla was a surprise.

Despite home advantage and a reasonable home record, a success against the table eighth of the Spanish LaLiga is not expected on Wednesday evening. Depending on the bookmaker, odds of around 3.30 for the home win will be offered in the duel between Rayo Vallecano and Villarreal.

Rayo Vallecano – Statistics & current form

The Spanish football saint Pauli had to go back to second place after 38 games. Ultimately, the head coach Paco Jemez’s team – who took over in mid-March – were down nine points on the saving bank. With 32 points, the red and whites from Madrid only finished last in the LaLiga.

The direct return to the Spanish football upper house is a difficult task for Rayo Vallecano. Only five defeats in 24 games are fundamentally an outstanding value, but given the fact that there are no fewer than twelve points, the team is a bit on the sidelines. After 24 games, Rayo is in eleventh place in the table, but the gap to play-off place six is ​​only three points.

This task is made more difficult by the departure of top scorer Adrian Embarba. The 27-year-old right winger played a splendid season and, with seven goals and eleven assists, was both top scorer and best assistant.

Embarba switched to Espanyol Barcelona for a transfer fee of ten million euros. Compensating for his departure becomes an almost impossible task and represents a severe weakening.

Despite the good shape – the last competitive loss was on December 1 – we see no value between Rayo Vallecano and Villarreal when predicting the home side. However, based on the latest results, a bet on the Under 2.5 is recommended. The last nine competitive games of Rayo Vallecano ended with a maximum of two goals.

Probable lineup of Rayo Vallecano:
➤ Dimitrievski – Tito, Catena, Saveljich, Advincula – Suarez – de Frutos, Trejo, Pozo, Martin – Ulloa

Villarreal – Statistics & current form

Anyone who saw the game between Deportivo Alaves and Villarreal last Saturday once again witnessed why we love this sport. Fernando Nino, a 19-year-old striker, scored the 2-1 win for Villarreal just two minutes after he came on as a substitute for the debut in the Spanish football upper house.

The story becomes even more beautiful if you consider the background. The Villarreal B-team coach was ignored by the youngster, but Javier Calleja trusted the C-team player and was rewarded for his bravery.

The joy was accordingly written on the face of the home and on Wednesday evening he could now be in the starting lineup for the first time in his career. Villarreal currently has only one fit center forward with Carlos Bacca. Karl Toko Ekambi was awarded to Lyon, Gerard Moreno is out.

There are personnel problems not only on the offensive but also on the defensive. Due to the loss of Pau Torres, Soufiane Chakla – a 26-year-old central defender – was given a professional contract by the B team. It is worth honoring to make the leap from nowhere to a professional at this age. An assignment at Rayo Vallecano seems extremely likely so that it can be tested under competitive conditions.

These failures and the associated use of players from the second row actually make a prediction of the home side between Rayo Vallecano and Villarreal seem interesting.

Nevertheless, we would advise against it, because Javier Calleja will otherwise have a powerful team. Players like Javier Ontiveros, Zambo Anguissa, Ruben Pena or Manuel Morlanes do not represent a weakening in contrast to the supposed regular forces.

In addition, the current strong shape of the yellow submarine makes a bet on the guests seem interesting. In the last six league games, 13 out of a possible 18 points have been collected. The Calleja elf should not lack confidence these days.

Probable lineup of Villarreal:
➤ Fernandez – Quintilla, Funes Mori, Chakla, Pena – Morlanes, Zambo Anguissa, Trigueros – Ontiveros, Fer Nino, Chukwueze

Last games from Villarreal:

⚽️ 01/25/2020 – Alaves vs. Villarreal 1: 2 (La Liga)

⚽️ January 19, 2020 – Villarreal vs. Espanyol Barcelona 1: 2 (La Liga)
